When the ring case in the safety deposit box is opened, the Cartier logo is smaller, with "London" and "Paris" visible under the logo. Later, when Detective Frazier shows the ring in the box to the mayor, the logo is a different Cartier logo.
When Det. Frazier enters the bank to take a tour of the hostages with Dalton, Steve-O (James Ransone) is tied up with the "trouble maker" group, mouths gagged but eyes not covered. This means Steve (Carlos Andrés Gómez) is the male robber following Frazier at gunpoint with Dalton. Yet when Frazier decides to "attack" Dalton, leading them to both fall down the stairs, its Steve-O who breaks up the fight at the bottom of the steps and then confronts Dalton, with Steve at his side about letting Frazier get the jump on him. In those moments, it would have been impossible for Steve-O to go from hostage in back room to robber with full face covering holding AK-47 at front bank door, without blowing his cover.
It seems they got their Steves mixed up. Steve-O as hostage, Steve carrying gun covering Dalton, then Steve-O at the bottom of the stair.

Russell holds the older woman at gunpoint and threatens her because she won't take her clothes off. In the next shot, Russell is holding the gun at his side.
Outside cage door to the vault switches from open to closed and back as camera angle switches as the cops are searching the bank.
The van used by the bank robbers is a Chevrolet Express which utilizes daytime running lamps which cannot be turned off. The lamps are illuminated when Dalton first drives off in the van and again at the bank. However, when the van is driving over the Brooklyn Bridge, the lamps are no longer illuminated.
The cops are supposedly fooled when the gang play part of a speech in Albanian by the late Enver Hoxha to fool their listening devices. But even though they don't know the language, they ought to notice that it sounds like a monologue by one man rather than a possible conversation between four bank robbers, one of them female.
That's not how human comprehension works. When listening to a torrent of unfamiliar comprehensible sounds, after a while, the brain treats them like white noise, unable to recognize them or sort them into discrete parts of a conversation.

After one week passes and the robber leaves his "cell", his accomplices come to pick him up outside of the bank. Those same accomplices were photographed and questioned by the police they day the siege entered. With every other aspect of the mission being so perfectly planned, there is no way the perpetrators would take the chance of showing up themselves at the bank to pick up their accomplice and risk blowing the whole caper.
Since there's no push to solve the case, being no evidence and nothing missing, there is not much risk that cops would stake out the bank a week later and scrutinize passing cars for a few faces of the dozens of others who were photographed and questioned. Frazier happening by was a fluke.

When referring to his exploits in the war, the bank president's lips reveal him saying it was "fifty years ago" but the sound has been dubbed to "sixty years ago".
The very experienced actor realized, as he was speaking his lines, that the math was off, so he started to say "fifty" and diverted to "sixty". It didn't look like a dub. Sixty years ago would actually have been roughly the time of WW2.

The lock box is picked correctly towards the end of the movie when Detective Frazier is in the vault by removing the nose to access the levers. However, earlier in the movie it is done wrong. The nose remains on the box yet the thieves are still able to pick it.
When the NYPD ESU is initially setting up around the bank at 20 Exchange Place, Manhattan, FDNY Engine 332 arrives on the scene. FDNY Engine Company 332 is based in Brooklyn, on Bradford St., not Manhattan.
"Things that only a local would spot, but that don't alter the "reality" of the movie, is not a goof, it's "creative geography" and is a widely used cinematic device."
